Keith Wyness, boozey. An absolutely useless twat.

He needs locking up with Shit Shoed Tony.

If you haven't seen the documentary about him and the Xia deal on Al Jazeera, it's fairly jaw-dropping!

I did think at the time "at least they're trying". It did feel like an attempt to be modern rather than the slapdash approach we'd had before, the problem was that much like with the Austin Metro we chose an engine that was already about 30 years out of date.

He always reminded me of the "Hi, I'm Ed Winchester" character off of the Fast Show.
